Breadboard Wire SOLID STIFF GOOD
The media could not be loaded. You get 6 rolls of wire.Each roll is 25 feet long.There are a total of 6 different colors.The wire is 22AWG in diameter-it fits great in my breadboard. Some breadboard wire is 0.6mm, which is just a teeny-bit thinner than this (22AWG = 0.644mm). Doesn’t matter, you’d need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. This works and fits!It will also fit into most terminal blocks.It appears to be tinned copper (nice).The wire is solid core (not braided or strands) and silver in color.Inside the box is a plastic tube that goes through the center holes of the rolls so you can pull on the wire without the roll coming out.There are holes pre-punched into the box, you just push out the cardboard with your finger and they’ll pop out—so you can feed the wires through the box’s side, to use the box as a dispenser.I use this as intended: breadboards. Some have complained that the insulation bubbles a little when you try to solder it…this is for cutting and sticking into breadboards, so yes: this is THIN gauge wire so either use a breadboard, or buy thicker wire, or learn to solder faster (practice makes perfect).I’m used to building stuff for analog oscilloscopes, Jacob’s ladders, plasma demo fuser, etc. so yes, this wire is really thin compared to my 45kV stuff…but I'm using this with a 9v circuit on a breadboard. This wire can max out (theoretically) at 7 amps for chassis wiring…not sure if the actual breadboard could handle that…but 0.9amps for power distribution. MEANING: have fun: it’s perfectly fine for breadboards/protoboards.BE CAREFUL: ADAFRUIT ALSO HAS ‘STRANDED’ WIRE THAT IS ALSO CALLED HOOK-UP WIRE AND COMES IN AN IDENTICAL BOX AND SPOOL LAYOUT. WATCH WHICH YOU SELECT/ORDER.Solid core is great for breadboards—but if the parts need to move a little in use, it can be too stiff—then you’ll want to have some stranded around too.What am I building with it: a Chua’s Circuit to show chaotic waveforms on an old oscilloscope. I've added pics of my completed Chua Circuit showing a strange attractor bounded output.Search "Logusz easy chua circuit" for build instructions.Mike from Detroit

Good wire, poor distribution design.
Wire is good and sturdy. Came as solid core for me (not stranded as others have complained about). My only gripe with this is that it uses the box as the stand and it is flimsy. If this had an actual plastic/wood base to hold the bar, it would be a 5 star product.

Great wires for most low amp electronic projects
Not much to say, great box of wires, easy to access when needed. The wires easily feed out of holes from the box. Great design. Tape the box down to the bench, and you're good to go. I just wish there were more red and black wires. Yeah, you know what I mean. lol. Don't be a Ham like me, but if you are, be an Extra Ham. 73.PS: If you like my review, please click on the Helpful button and/or comment. If you don't like it, please comment and let me know why.

Good wire, great box?
Nice solid core wire for Arduino hook ups. The box works great as a dispenser. Colour coding the wires and creating a Fritzing sketch makes building multiple Arduino's a snap.

Good Product.
Good product easy to work. price its right, My only concern is they claim the product are made in USA, but this box doesnt say anything. Most the time proudly people label the manufacture country.I bought it because told me they are manufactured here, but I doubt it now.

Great wire, can complete solder projects now.
Othes complained about not getting solid core, mine appears to be solid. It's possible others went the "Cheap skate" rout and purchased from third party vendors here on Amazon from "New and Used".

Handy, but the black wire is nigh-impossible to strip and the spools aren't great
The product is definitely what it says it is, 6 spools of wire and most of it strips well, but the black spool is almost impossible to strip using the 22 guage hole on my wire stripper (which is IRWIN VISE-GRIP Multi-Tool Wire Stripper/Crimper/Cutter ). At first I thought it was an issue with the stripper, but all the other wires stripped fine and I tried some black wire from a different set that also stripped just fine, so I think there may be a consistency issue in this set. I have found that it strips slightly easier of I put it in the 18 gauge hole, but only slightly. I've also found that the wire likes to come off the spools which can make them a bit difficult to use. I think if the edges of the spools were bigger or if the wire had been more tightly wrapped this wouldn't be as much of a problem. Overall it's fine, and I'm looking at one of those automatic wire strippers to see if I can get the most out of the black, but I'll probably look elsewhere next time I need to buy some wire

Works well
It is what you can expect. Solid wire cable that works as intended.

The project
The project is going great. All I need now is some yellow cake uranium - Never mind the reason.

Praktischer Kabelspender
Den Draht nutze ich, um kleine Hobby-Elektronik-Projekte zu verdrahten. Daber ist die Spenderbox sehr komfortabel. Die unterschiedlichen Farben helfen beim Kabelwirrwar die Leitungen auseinander zu halten.Das 22 AWG hat einen guten Durchmesser dafür. Beim nächsten Mal probiere ich trotzdem ein Nummer dicker.
